I am a freelance editor and writer, writing mostly for online markets, and editing academic papers. I've had hundreds of articles published, plus poems, a poetry book, short stories and a children's book published, and some short theatrical sketches and a full length play performed.

Background
Information

I was born in England and live in South Australia. Influences are many, but include Lynne Reid Banks, Alice Walker, Ray Bradbury and Shakespeare.

I have interests in music, theatre and film. I began to learn piano in 2003, and am now studying for grade 6 exams. I've acted in amateur theatre, been a film extra (and had one speaking part), which is all fun.

At the moment I'm studying full time for a BA in English Literature to fulfil a long-term ambition, and hopefully to make me a better writer.

Birth Place

Stoke-on-Trent, UK

Accomplishments

Currently working as an editor of academic papers, and a science writer, primarily with PhysOrg.com. I am also ghostwriting for several websites.

Children's book published at Ziptales.com.

Several short stories and poems published in various magazines, both print and online. I've also been a reader at a couple of poetry festivals. Some of my stories and poems have won awards in competitions.

Additional Information

My first poetry book, 'A Thousand Walks' is now available (see link below). It contains a mixture of poems, haibun, haiku, sonnets, with some rhyming and some non-rhyming poetry.
